Talent Management Challenge

Just noticed the posting on Fortune this morning on Google -

Is Google too smart for its own good?

  • brilliant minds boxed into a big company inevitably grow dissatisfied with their inability to shine individually
  • a team of superstars destined to underachieve

The quotes are very interesting... but that does not mean the pool of talent cannot be managed.

It just needs a smart and creative entrepreneurial environment and an open mind to let it blossom. It has been done before and will continue to be done, will it happen at the 8th wonder of the world is a question for the times?
